  • Abstract:
  • Forensic science is the application of a broad spectrum of sciences used to answer questions of interest to a legal system related to crime or civil action. Teeth can withstand trauma better than other tissues in body and can withstand the temperature of 1100 degree Celsius without the loss of microstructure. Teeth is a source of DNA and can provide nuclear or mitochondrial DNA which helps in identification of a person. diagnostic aids used in identifying the deceased are the facial and intraoral photographs. Comparison of such antemortem radiographs with the post-mortem radiographs is the most accurate and reliable method of identifying remains. Even photos of cast and rugae patterns can be superimposed. Palatal rugae, bite marks and lip prints are also useful tool for identification. All practitioners of various fields must understand the forensic implication associated with his/her profession. Thus, the importance of the forensic field should give the dental clinician yet another reason to maintain proper records in accordance with law and assist legal authorities in the identification of victims and suspects.
